Buying a car without a title !
Gentleman whats your thoughts on buying a car that the seller doesn’t have any paperwork on? He claims the person he bought it from 20 years ago never gave him the title. Car has supposedly been off the road since 1974ish. He wants nothing to do with trying to obtain a title for the car but wants top money for the car. I’m struggling with this because its a very special car that i would love to have however its alot of money to gamble with ! Thanks

Grab the VIN and see if you can possibly do a title search yourself.? Can't be more than $20 bucks I would imagine.?

Bruce Shaw is a good recommendation. Texas has bonded titles that allow someone to make claim to the car for two years. I’d think no title would reduce the value of the car considerably

Place a deposit, and do a simple sale contract contingent upon getting a clean title.
Some caution is needed:

While strictly my opinion.......I don't know how anyone can reason top dollar for a car (based on what you shared) and not be able to convey any sort of transfer of ownership.
As mentioned, a bonded title has most the same effect as a salvage title.
